If you enjoy sword and sorcery tales, you'll enjoy the adventures of Olbur of Rokol. Set in Mnar and the surrounding lands following the fall of Sarnath, Olbur and his companion Peltamash face down sorcerers and gods. Four of their adventures have been published, so far (and, yes, more exist).

You can find the first two stories - A Caravan From Thraa and Revolt in Rokol - in Strange Sorcery #17 from Rainfall Books.

Their third adventure, The Flame in the Ice, appeared in the anthology Torched from Nocturnal Press (out of print and hard to find).

Update: Their fourth adventure, following immediately fromthe last, Claimed by the Ice, has been published in Strange Sorcery #18.

One of their later adventures, The Caverns of Khidina, is available in the anthology Swords Against Cthulhu from Rogue Planet Press (available from Amazon in paperback).

Another later adventure, The Curse of Ennerath, is available in the Kindle anthology Swords of Darkness.

I am hoping to get The Flame in the Ice back into print - I'll let you know when I'm successful...
